5 Things In My Childhood Closet That Make Me Regret Back To School Outfits

Middle school was a rough time for my closet and I think 2013-2017 was a rough time for a lot of people's closets. With edgy Tumblr fashion becoming popular, none of us stood a chance. My fringe bangs and "fierce" selfies really tied my looks together in my opinion but as for things in my closet, here are five things in my closet that make me regret 2014 fashion trends.

1. Infinity Scarves

The day infinity scarves took over Pinterest was a day that never should have happened. Every girl who had "style" in 2014 had infinity scarves. I, personally, owned 6. They were all different colors ranging from a subtle black to a vibrant and sparkly pink. I even started knitting them myself and let me tell you, they were not cute.

2. Flannels

These paired with the infinity scarves were a deadly combo for the fashion industry. Fall of 2015 really took a hit with these two paired together. What really makes these even worse is that we didn't stop wearing them when the weather got warmer. We just started styling them by tying them around our waists. Flannels were bought as an accessory piece for back to school in the fall but never left when we hit spring and summer and I will never understand why.

3. Colored Skinny Jeans

Okay, maybe this one was just me but I definitely wore colored skinny jeans from 2013 to 2016. They were a key piece of my back to school outfits. I had a pair of royal blue capris that I would pair with a bright pink and orange flowy tank top. That was my back to school outfit in 2013 and I didn't get rid of it until 2016. Three years. I wore colored skinny jeans for three years.

4. Sparkly Shoes

To tie my 2013 back to school outfit together, I added sparkly flats. That's right. Sparkly flats. It gets worse. They were turquoise, floral, sequin flats. Sparkly shoes were definitely popular for longer than they should have been and I wore them even after they went out of style.

5. Galaxy Print Leggings

Finally, my favorite piece from the 2014 Tumblr era. Galaxy print leggings. Galaxy print everything was such a key part of this time period. I had a galaxy print hoodie to go with my galaxy print leggings. I will never understand how we ever convinced ourselves that galaxy print leggings were cute but luckily that trend didn't last long.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
